Software testing is an indispensable part of the software development process, and software verification testing is an important stage. Software validation testing, also known as user acceptance testing, is the final stage in the software development life cycle. It aims to confirm whether the software meets the user's needs and functions as expected. Confirmation testing focuses on the user's perspective, simulating real scenarios as much as possible to verify that the software works properly. The basis for software verification testing mainly includes the following aspects
1. User requirements document: The user requirements document is the basis of software development, which specifies the user's expectations and needs for the software. The main purpose of validation testing is to verify that the software meets these requirements.
2. Functional Specification: The functional specification describes in detail the functionality and behavior of the software. Validation testing involves verifying the functionality of the software, one by one, against these specifications.
3. Test plan: The test plan is a guidebook during the test process, which includes information such as test goals, strategies, and resources. The confirmation test must be carried out according to the test plan to ensure that the test is comprehensive and effective.
4. Minutes of requirements confirmation meeting: In the requirements confirmation meeting, developers and users will make final confirmation on the requirements. The minutes of the meeting record the understanding and confirmation results of the requirements of both parties, and are also one of the basis for the confirmation test.
